Recording, release, and reception
The album is the first for the band on Rise Records and reunites them with Steve Albini, who recorded two albums of theirs almost 20 years prior.[1] Edwin McFee of Hot Press reviewed the release, giving it a score of seven out of 10, noting that this album shows off the band's best qualities, without departing from their "tried and trusted style".[2]
